  • Update: I kept a careful eye on them and figured out what they’re doing when they run off: they’re standing still very close facing each other. Which I assume means they’ve run into each other and glitched but perhaps they’re just having a hugging contest.

    Anyway, is it possible for a random user to submit a bug report or do I just have to wait for someone important to notice?





  • In many emotional regulation frameworks (DBT, mindfulness) they talk about the recognition and pause as the first two steps. Noticing you’re feeling a certain way, and then learning to take a quick pause from doing anything - “one, two, three”. That gives you a small space within which you can then learn how to respond differently than instinct. Probably she’s not old enough to have learned those two steps yet. (Many adults haven’t either!) So maybe start there. Just “recognize” first, then “pause” after she’s learned the first one. It may take awhile, and that’s ok. Once she’s learned them they will be very powerful for many different things.
